A historic county in South East England, and one of the home counties, Berkshire has been ranked one of the best places to live by the UK Quality of Life Index. The Royal County of Berkshire certainly has a lot to offer by way of history. First established circa 840, Berkshire is one of the oldest counties in Britain. And home to Windsor Castle (one of the Queen’s official residences and one of the oldest and largest Royal residences in the world), Berkshire has become a global destination – especially for those seeking to visit places with renowned royal connections. But, while Berkshire has a proud heritage, it is also a great place to live and do business today.
In early 2022, the average property price in Berkshire County was a robust £470k. That’s significantly more than the national average (£341k over the same period). In fact, in May 2022, Berkshire was the fifth most pricey county out of the 55 counties in England and Wales. But it’s not hard to see why. Less than 50 miles from London, Berkshire offers rural living within easy reach of the capital. And, for people looking for an excellent quality of life, with good transport links, strong Royal connections, shopping and dining, and outdoor attractions, Berkshire has it all.
Berkshire is also a fantastic place for business. In easy reach of London, it is centrally situated with excellent transport links. Part of the M4 corridor, none of the county is more than about ten miles from the motorway. Close to the M40, M25 and M3, London, Bath and Oxford are all within easy reach. What’s more, Heathrow is only a 20-minute drive away, and Gatwick is also nearby. The recently opened Elizabeth Line adds to Berkshire’s locational strengths.
Berkshire is a thriving economic hub and an important commercial centre. Known as the commercial capital of the Thames Valley, the town hosts many UK and global businesses, including Fujitsu, Hewlett-Packard, Microsoft, Oracle, PepsiCo, Procter & Gamble, Virgin Media, Bang & Olufsen, Cisco, Ericsson, and many more. Berkshire is also a major retail centre. Tourism also plays a very important role in Berkshire, with attractions such as Windsor Castle and Royal Ascot attracting tourists every year.
